The sound of rushing water
epitomises the life and habitat of blackflies, which have a world-wide
distribution with over 2000 recognised species. They are found wherever
there is permanent or semi-permanent running water which the larval and
pupal stages require for their development.

may be vectors of parasitic and other diseases of humans and livestock
